Interstate Fleet Service is seeking an experienced Diesel Mechanic. We work in a 12-bay shop, heated and insulated, with no A/C. Only a small percentage of our jobs are customer drive-up one-off jobs. You get to know the equipment you’re working on and responsible for.

Traditionally speaking if you have an inquisitive mind and like to see success due to the effort of your handiwork, we want you to apply. Additionally, if you are more than inquisitive and hands-on, we need you as well. A lot of today’s trucks come in with warning lamps on (Engine, ABS, transmission, etc.) so we have to be able to first identify the truck system giving the error and then troubleshoot it from there. We’re looking for technicians experienced in computer diagnostics and electrical repair to keep up with the demand of today's fleets.

  • Experience with diagnostic tools such as Cummins Insite, Quickserve, Paccar’s Davie4, and Mack’s PTT
  • ASE Certifications: Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications are preferred, especially in areas relevant to the position, such as Diesel Engines, Brakes, and Drivetrain
